SCORE:
Spork! - xRGTMx
15-15
With the Summer Competition over and no news on another Simfile Shuffle, xRGTMx and I decided it was high time we went head to head. However, this isn't your average competition based on purely chart quality, but also on speed of completion and willingness to follow specifics given by your opponent.
RULES
* Challenges will be "volleyed" back and forth.
* Each challenge has a time limit of One Week.
* Each challenge's timer starts as soon as the previous challenge is completed and a new one is assigned. Speed entries are encouraged to throw off your opponent.
* Challenges can be a variety of things - Genre, gimmicks, difficulty, patterns, Title, Additional Charts (1 per) etc.
* One additional challenge will be given each Volley. (e.g. Volley 1 - 1 challenge, Volley 2 - 2 challenges, etc.) This will increase the difficulty in completing challenges further in and make scoring more likely.
* After the fourth volley, challenge vetoes will be given at the following rates: V4-5 (1) / V6-7 (2) / v8+ (3)
* The maximum number of challenges per volley is 8. Every volley afterwards will be capped at 8.
* Contestant is given 48 hours to place arguments in the thread to get challenges vetoed. Vetoed challenges must be changed by your opponent in a reasonable manner if arguments are made in time and they are remotely reasonable.
* Contestants can refuse to complete a challenge, and points will be automatically given to your opponent.
* One file is allowed per round.
* File must include Graphics, be between 1:30 and 2:30 in length, and include / / /
* Failure to complete given challenge in time results in other player earning points.
* Scoring resets the number of challenges back to 1.
* Scoring is done in Tennis style - 15/30/40/Game. Points are only awarded by failure to create a file which completes all challenges in time.
* Rules will be tweaked slightly if issues arise.
LET THE GAME BEGIN
R1v1 - xRGTMx - I challenge you to chart a song whose title includes the name of an element on the periodic table.

This is pretty interesting! But does this mean it has to be 1v1 or something?
Unrelated but I was thinking of having another Simfile Shuffle but obviously I need help running it since things are pretty busy for me. (perhaps interested parties can personally message me~)

This is indeed 1v1, but in the future, we may try challenges given by other members here. ;)

It would have been cool if winner faces someone else who the loser of the 1v1 would pick in ziv.
No repeats of people either.
This just seems kind of dull. /onion
Have fun though.

First volley received!
From pop'n music 12 CS...
TIN-DON-DANCE / ノーボトム!
BPM: 145
2 4 6 9 -
"Tin is a chemical element with symbol Sn (for Latin: stannum) and atomic number 50. It is a main group metal in group 14 of the periodic table. Tin shows chemical similarity to both neighboring group-14 elements, germanium and lead, and has two possible oxidation states, +2 and the slightly more stable +4. Tin is the 49th most abundant element and has, with 10 stable isotopes, the largest number of stable isotopes in the periodic table. Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite, where it occurs as tin dioxide, SnO2." - Wikipedia

Spork, your volley, with a value of 2:
- Step a song that hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Go doggystyle. Use hands.

Sounds pretty cool to me. You two are well-matched Won't this take an awfully long time to complete though? With just a couple significant volleys, you'll each have enough files to release a full pack, haha.

Volley Returned!
Reached #1 in the Billboard charts on May 24th 1997.
MMMBop - Hanson
BPM: 105
Length: 1:59
S: 1 / 3 / 5 / 9
Heavy has an assortment of hands. And I am not sorry about the song choice BWAHAHAHAhahahaha....Anyways, this song was super popular back when I was entering the late years of elementary school. For some reason a lot of people don't remember it...I wish I could say the same.
xRGTMx - It is your turn, and you get THREE challenges this time.
1: Two difficulties must be rated the same, but with vastly different charts. (e.g. 7 / 7)
2: BPM must exceed 200 BPM for at least 10% of the song.
3: Artist name must begin with a vowel. Making an alias does not count if you wrote the song.

hmm... so chart quality isn't included in the scoring at all..

If the chart is absolute crap we will require a remake. There is a minimum quality - and both of us refuses to release something in here unless some effort is put into it. (e.g. How often do you see really low quality files from either of us?) Part of it is checking to make sure challenges ARE properly followed - this is more of a challenge in finding songs and then making a chart happen in a short period of time with increasingly specific requirements than in OMG TOP TIER TOURNAMENT QUALITY CHARTING.
After all > Anyone can write a chart with a single goal. But finding a song where jackhammers fit, with a specific BPM, at a certain length, released at a certain time....it builds up.
[edit] Also - This first game is just a test run - working out kinks. We're not trying to advertise a full blown competition. We're trying to continue doing something we love, with some structure added to increase personal interest - not make a fanpack for people to cream over. I understand people feel left out, but that was no one's intention.

...ah screw it, I got too busy this week and seemed to lose motivation to do the challenge, so I'll let Spork have the first score.
My next challenge to you, Spork...
- Step a song that is not in 4/4 timing.

The only DDR song I remember not being 4/4 was PARANOiA ETERNAL, and...
... Well, it was awful.

"Let's Do the Rain Dance" |
Here are a few I thought of:
Cleopatra / Weezer (Segments in 5/4)
Knell / Project B- (3/4 Waltz Time for half the song)
Life Connection / World Sequence (It's either 3/4 waltz or 6/4 waltz)
SABER WING / TAG (3/4 Waltz Time)
Cleopatra / Weezer (Segments in 5/4)
Knell / Project B- (3/4 Waltz Time for half the song)
Life Connection / World Sequence (It's either 3/4 waltz or 6/4 waltz)
SABER WING / TAG (3/4 Waltz Time)

I don't appreciate your onion.... Well, it was awful.
Other non 4/4 examples in DDR: CUTIE CHASER, CUTIE CHASER (morning mix), Holic [goes back into 4/4 for last few measures, though], SABER WING, MAXIMIZER [for one measure], BALLAD FOR YOU, etc...

"choons" |
Maximizer has only 2 measures that does not have 4/4 timing.
